Yesterday I turned 64 (and my partner turned 44), so some of my relatives took us out to lunch. My cousin’s daughter, who is in her 20s, asked me how old I am now. So I started singing “Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m . . .” She didn’t get it. Thanks a lot for making me feel even more ancient than I already am. ---

Happy birthday! I’m in between you and your partner in age and I happen to love that Beatles song 😃 You are NOT, however, ancient. ---

Well, at least it wasn’t a hit before her mother was born. Probably. ---

I know that song. Wasn’t that the band Paul McCartney was in before Wings? ---

Turned 64 :gasp: Coleridge may have written a rime about it, methinks (hint: it wasn’t Kubla Khan) 😃 ---

Have to post this: [When I’m 25 or 64](http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/When%20I%27m%2025%20or%2064). Think Chicago, think The Beatles, and I’m sure you can see where this is going. It’s a really fun mashup, IMO. EDIT: I guess if you _really love_ either of those songs, this desecration could send you into slobbering rage 🙂 ---
